Welcome to today's newsletter, filled with inspiring stories that showcase President Trump's strategic moves, grassroots support, and the nation's growing optimism.
We have an incredible opportunity to inspire new generations in the tradition of true American genius, to break from the false and misleading ideologies of the past and set a new course, where we once again can demonstrate the willful beauty of humankind as God’s greatest creation.
Our Future: How to Leapfrog to "America's Golden Age"
Whatever your role in implementing President Trump's MAGA agenda, you'll want to dig into today's report. We've spent decades working to develop the new consensus around national goals. Now we have to deliver on those goals.

Rebuild the USA: The Trump Presidency and Beyond
After all the years of campaigning, Americans have finally come to the agreement that we will Make America Great Again. But, how do we actually implement the intention, and with a minimum of mistakes along the way?
After all the years of campaigning, Americans have finally come to the agreement that we will Make America Great Again. But, how do we actually implement the intention, and with a minimum of mistakes along the way? This book outlines, philosophically and theoretically, but also concretely—economic sector by economic sector—the answer(s) to that question. Drawing on the rich history of the American System of political economy and decades of proposals which have been consigned to the shelf by Wall Street, Brian Lantz charts in this 464-page book the pathway to what President Trump calls America's Golden Age. Here are a few short excerpts:
"To meet the nation’s energy emergency corporate CEOs in engineering and construction, retired military logistics experts, and experienced Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory managers, will draw on and assign top management production specialists to flesh out specifics. These production managers and manufacturing engineers will fill out the bills of materials requirements for the building of the hundreds of baseload power plants the nation urgently needs."
"In what is rightly termed the strategic machine-tool sector, scientists and engineers and skilled machinists transform new discoveries of scientific principle into machine tool designs, and prototype applications are tested, and, if viable, scaled up to full production. (See graphic, prepared by Lyndon LaRouche, above.) Out of that process, including the problem-solving that comes with the socialized scaling process itself, come new spin-offs and new inventions, which along with new skill sets, emerge up and down the production line, and the consequence is further dynamic development in the culture and science of society itself."
Jesse Jones and his Reconstruction Finance Corporation Provided the Credit to Win World War II and Turn the United States into a Manufacturing Superpower

"Wall Street banks were virtually useless in the financing of the required US industrial surge, military buildup, and overall war effort; the RFC had to make credit available because the major banks would not lend. This is a critical lesson that must be relearned today."

"Rebuilding the heavy industrial sector is now a tremendous opportunity for again “leapfrogging,” as we did with the WWII industrial mobilization, and with the Gemini program and Apollo moonshot of the 1960s. In heavy industry as well as advanced manufacturing, the inherent process of social human discovery, including essential contributions through engineering and operator input, transforms the nature of the production process itself."
"Accomplishing a transformation in industrial and manufacturing employment will fundamentally increase the potential relative population density of the nation—the capacity to realistically provide opportunities and support for more young families. Through simultaneous increases of energy flux density per cross-section of work area in factories, farms, and in space, and across our land area, a rapid, needed increase in productivity will also be achieved."
Senator Marco Rubio's Report on "Made in China 2025"
Senator Rubio's September 2024 report gives a very detailed overview of the successes and shortcomings of Xi's plans for 2025. Sector by sector, it shows the way in which a government policy can foster economic progress. Imagine what we will be able to do as we begin to apply American System approaches again too! Read this report in parallel with Brian Lantz's book.
Closing Chromatin: The Key to Reversing Aging and Curing Most Diseases?
In our last report, we briefly touched on the possibility of extending the human lifespan. In this video, Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte of Altos Labs discusses the work that his company has been doing to reverse aging and various diseases in mice. They have found that a key difference between young cells and aged or diseased cells is the condition of the chromatin that surrounds DNA. In young and healthy cells, the chromatin exists in a "closed state." In diseased and aged cells, much of the chromatin is in an "open state." He claims that by giving quick dosages of 4 proteins to the aged cells, they have been able to change the open state to the closed state and reverse aging and other diseases in mice. They have also been able to apply their technique to animal organs which had been rejected as candidates for transplants; and have been able to revive the organs, implant them, and get healthy mice with the rejuvenated transplanted organs. You might yet beat the insurance actuaries!
First Test of Engine Promises Supersonic Transpacific Commercial Flight
In October 11, 2024, Astro Mechanica, an American startup, first fired up their new Electric Adaptive Engine (shown in the first video) which promises to increase supersonic jet range and efficiency by 60% in comparison with the Concorde and its engines. Instead of using a single shaft running through the entire engine, this new design generates electricity from the turbine at the rear to power electric motors at the intake which are thereby able to electrically regulate the turbofan speed according to the best speed efficiency for every increase or decrease of the speed of the incoming air (or speed of the vehicle in flight). Older jet engines have optimal speed regimes—they are either efficient at high or low speeds, but not at both. This engine promises high efficiency at any speed of flight up far past Mach 1. The second video and the article discuss the principles and how they would be applied to a 2-stage spaceplane design.
Following the successful fifth Starship/Superheavy flight test last month, the brilliant catch of its Superheavy booster by the SpaceX mechanical chopstick arms, and the nearly perfect landing of the Starship, SpaceX has announced that its next flight will likely take place on November 18. SpaceX has posted details of the upcoming flight test on its website. The flight will feature new heatshield upgrades, updated software controls, and a Raptor engine relight in space.
This is a good review of the 8 Chinese companies working on building reusable rockets. They are following the SpaceX model very closely, and even aim at deploying 28,000 communications satellites of a Starlink-type system. The channel is based in France and its 2 founders have spent a combined total of 20 years in China, so they have good connections there. It also makes clear how the deliberate sabotage of American enterprise kills our industry. Slowing deployment of American technology, allows the imitators time to catch up and take over markets before the American industries have been allowed to really get going.
We explore the exciting developments in science and space initiatives that are shaping our future. With President Trump's nominees leading the way, we are on the cusp of a new era of innovation and progress.
